The book is a themeless, random romp of Tour trivia and well-known Tour tales despite the alluring title, which kind of suckers you into thinking you’ll get to read about behind-the-podium blowjobs and cool shit like that. Unlike some of the other execrable publications on this list, though, it deserves a read, especially if you can get a copy for .99 at Alibris.com, which I did. Undeserving a proper review, I’m listing the following factoids about the book below.

Easy read, hence good for the book-lazy cycling public.

Short.

Misprint: “television programed” instead of “program.” (p. 86)

Observes that fanboys don’t make good cycling journalists (p. 87). Or good book authors.

Modern cycling? “The riders, the teams, are all the same.” (p. 90) Bravo!
